    0.5 g of hydrocarbon gave 0.9 g water on combustion. The percentage of carbon in hydrocarbon is

    A) 75.8

    B) 80.0

    C) 56.6

    D) 28.6

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    % of H \[=\frac{2}{18}\times \frac{\text{wt}\text{.of}\,{{H}_{2}}O}{\text{wt}\text{. of organic compound}}\times 100\]           \[=\frac{2}{18}\times \frac{0.9}{0.5}\times 100=20\,%\] Since percentage of hydrogen is 20. Therefore, remaining is carbon i.e. 80 %.
